He remains Lancashire's most prolific run-getter of all time, and is one of only a few batsmen to have scored 100 centuries in the first-class game.
In Test cricket, Tyldesley was part of England sides that won the ashes in 1926, and 1928–29. He also played in four Ashes matches in England, out of his 14 Tests overall, which included three centuries.
